I agree with the writer (like whom, I live in the US) that the two countries have a special relationship. For fifty years, the relationship has been of two siblings quarelling over a piece of turf, and by now they have worn themselves out of quarelling and the general public has clearly shown that they have no quarrel with one another. I can see the paper tigers of chowk getting stomach cramps on seeing the karachi cricket match - but that is nothing more than what I have been saying for the past 3-4 years on chowk: those who seek a continuation of hostilities on one pretext or another are on the wrong side of history. Time is proving my prediction to be correct.

I would only add that we should go beyond just establising close links: we should have peace but with ``malice towards none``. Thus, instead of the two Abduls joining hands to do what they seem best able to do (build weapons), I would suggest we get rid of both Abduls along with the damned nukes and missiles they are associated with and focus our energies on poverty alleviation. Rather than being inspired by nationalistic fervor, I think the writer should be inspired by something even bigger and better: those are the ideals of his adopted country (the US), where people from all over the world come and spend their energies fighting the real battle on behalf of all mankind: the battle to further our scientific borders, the battle to find cures for diseases. The Abduls of South Asia as well as the hatemongerers of South Asia are relics of our animal past. They have no place in that noblest of struggles - the struggle to improve the quality of life for all mankind, the struggle in which the US is at the forefront.

//..Whatever may be the brutal truth, is it late to undo the infamous split of the brightest jewel in the British crown?..//

Yes it is. The damage is done and for most part - irreversible.

Also - stop using phrases like ``brightest jewel in the British crown``. It means what ? A 5000-year-old civilization that went from Riches to Rags within a couple of century under the rule of the British Crown. And till date, remains a $hit-hole compared to any other signficant nation in the whole world.

So how does this translate to ``Jewel`` in anybody`s crown?

yeah times have changed. it used to be munh maiN churri baghal meiN Ram Ram just a month ago and now it is baghal maiN churri aur munh maiN Ram Ram now.

The Muslim of subcontinent are fighting a mortal combat for their freedom and such shenanigans have never been able to prevent freedom movements to achieve their objectives though all oppressors and genocidal maniacs never get tired of using them.

wafa karo gay wafa karaiN gay
jaffa karo gay jaffa karaiN gay

Hum insaan haiN tumhaare jaise
jo tum karo gay woh hum karaiN gay.

As long as genocide in Kashmir go on there cannot be peace. Peace without justice is not possible.
